Angle in 2005: I would have voted “no” on Katrina relief funds
I have previously wondered how many Angle tapes are out there to compete with the jobs/Social Security/slush fund/Government is not God classics. I know the answer is: A lot. But I am starting to think there may be one a week (or more) floating around in the cyberspace ether, some of which Angle took off her website after the primary. (But nothing on the Internet is ever really gone, is it?)

Case in point: On today’s fifth anniversary of Katrina, a Democrat supplies a tape of Angle during her 2006 bid for Congress talking about how she would have opposed the $62 billion in relief that only 11 House members opposed (no one in the Senate voted no). The federal version of “41 to Angle,” perhaps.

During an interview on conservative KLAV radio in 2005, which she once had up on her site, Angle invoked Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, who she claimed said he was voting "no" because the Katrina money was not carefully accounted for. The truth is Pence actually wanted the money to be offset – Human Events was so proud of him, it gave Pence “Man of the Year” in 2005.

But Pence actually voted FOR the $62 billion. His “yea” is right there in the congressional record after someone named Pelosi.

2. Can this woman figure out what she's...
for?...:rofl:

She is against everything, I see a series of Flash Cards on how not to run a campaign...maybe even a short film. Until now, I thought the worst campaign of all time was the McCain/Palin jokefest...:D

3. At least Angle
seems consistently crazy. I am so grateful for the tabagging morons in this case, forcing Angle on the Nevada population has give Harry Reid a way to win a race that I had written off. If the pukes had of been able to primary in a more normal sounding asshole in place of Ms. Nutz here Reid was as good as gone.

6. Just did some research; the initial Katrina relief bills were HR's 3645 and 3673.

The "no voters":
TX-6 Barton, Joe
AZ-6 Flake, Jeff
NC-5 Foxx, Virginia
NJ-5 Garrett, Scott
IN-8 Hostettler, John
IA-5 King, Steve
ID-1 Otter, C.L.
TX-14 Paul, Ronald
WI-5 Sensenbrenner, F.
CO-6 Tancredo, Thomas
GA-8 Westmoreland, Lynn

Ouch. A bunch of discompassionate conservatives right here. Steve King? Joe Barton (who infamously accused the White House of providing a "shakedown" in the $20 billion oil spill loss fund)? Virginia Foxx (who called the Matthew Shepherd murder a hoax)? Ron Paul (who also opposes the Iraq War, a good thing...as a libertarian, I think he'd rather have private businesses/charities help albeit at a slower pace or just let 'em die)? Tom Tancredo (also a racist/anti-immigrant son of Italian immigrants, who sneered "let those N-words die" I suppose)?

Maybe Angle should run for the House. Some constituencies just keep on electing the same ol' dumbasses over and over again (but Tancredo quit though).

Shes a cold hearted witch. (Like the Wicked Witch of the West OZ, not a Wiccan. Wiccans are cool people, with more heart then she ever had.)
